Xmas Special

It's Christmas Day and a time to both reflect on the year that's been and to ponder on the year to come!

The NFL Playoffs are finally around the bend (and that means our beloved football Sunday's are winding down to a close)... Will the Pats go undefeated? Will it matter if they do and fail to win it all? Is T.O. healthy? Are the Jags/Chargers for real? How bad is Eli? How good is Peyton?

MLB closes for the Holiday week but before we know it... right about the time the NFL is gearing up for Super Sunday... Pitchers and Catchers will be heading to their respective Spring homes! I'm juiced for '08... Where will Santana pitch? Will Bonds play? Torre in the NL? Will Boston repeat?

College football has begun their 32 Bowl games... In a few months, College Basketball will embark on their own 32-game tournament. How good is the ACC (beyond UNC/Duke)? G-town has another run in them? What super frosh will emerge as the #1 pick?

The NBA is doing it's thing... SOON... the games will matter and be worth watching. Till then... I'll tune in with 8 minutes to go in the 4th and see if the score is 82-80.

Hockey is skating by... Marty Brodeur is still bedeviling!

It was a good year... Tiger Woods, Jimmy Johnson, Venus Williams won big time... The Usual Suspects... Boston sure is having a grand Ole time following their teams. After going decades w/out championships... seems they are about to gorge themselves!

I sure do miss the World Cup and WBC...

The Olympics are coming... As well as the Yankees' quest for #27. The final year for Shea and Yankee stadium in NY, for Irving Stadium in Texas.

As 2007 comes to a close my only thoughts are with all of you. Merry Christmas. As my thoughts turn towards 2008, and what will be, my only wish is for y'all to have a VERY, MERRY New Year (and may Johan Santana remain a twin, until NYY sign him in 2009)...
